            Let's Maximize Our Potential!    (3 of 5)  

  

We find an example of this in  

 

                        Luke 5:4-When he had finished speaking, Jesus said to Simon, "Now go out where it is deeper, (Launch out into the deep,) and let down your nets to catch some fish."    

 

                            V5-"Master," Simon replied, "we worked hard all last night and didn't catch a thing. But if you say so, I'll let the nets down again."  

 

In other words, if we are willing to make changes in our lives, obey the directive of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit,  

 

                 exert ourselves in ways which are not in our comfort zones, we will experience great and awesome changes in our lives!  

 

No matter how smart we might consider ourselves to be, the various ways we have attempted to achieve changes or how long and  

 

         hard we have already worked , we must tell the Lord as Simon did:  

 

                 "But if You say so", "Nevertheless at thy word" we will "launch out into the deep".  

 

We will go to the next level.  

 

We will change what we have been doing.

 

  

   Let's Maximize Our Potential!     (4 of 5)

 

 

 

  

As long as there is the possibility and ability to grow, we are mandated by God to grow for He has given us direction,  

 

       gifts, strength, resources, etc. to attain our ultimate and best!  

 

However, as with everything else in life, we must make a decision and choose to move to the next level and achieve or to literally  

 

                  stay where we are and to keep on experiencing unsatisfying days.  

 

Days when we feel unfulfilled!  

 

 

Days we ask what is the use to do this or that for things will never change!  

 

 

However, because of Simon's obedience, he experienced  

 

                       V6- And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.  

 

                       V7- So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

 

 

 

   

 

            

  

 

Therefore the question is:  

 

                                       What changes need to be made in our lives that will take us to the next level?  

 

                               Changes in our home, office environment, relationships, self-image, level of education, finances, etc?  

 

Our reasons or explanations for why we can't change or won't change are hindrances to us maximizing our lives in greatness.  

 

We must do away with unwarranted excuses that we have been hiding behind and begin to make changes that  

 

                                   will launch us into a new fulfilled life.  

 

 

 

What areas in your life need to experience a "Make-Over", an "Over-Haul"?  

 

Is it doing a true spring cleaning, fine-tuning your spiritual or physical lives?  

 

Make a list and conquer one entry at a time.  

 

"Let's Maximize Our Potential" by productively using the remaining  

 

                      moments of our lives by launching out into the "Sea of  

 

                      Changes" and  watch our lives grow from glory to glory! 

 

 

God bless you!
